Not an idea, but I'd actually commit petty roughing up of people for the kind of spotlight imagery you're getting. I'm still running FS9, and I avoid taxiing at night because it looks like I'm running my aircraft through milk. :P
All right, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
Well, let's put it this way. I've already seen him:
* Launch an intact core stage out of a massive explosion and fireball on the pad.
* Launch a command module into the upper ionosphere while having no less than forty components twirling and zipping around in every vector conceivable.
When...
Also expanding on my own reply (which was really little more than a quick thought spilled out into a post) --
Reason I pointed out the two control subsets is this: I was visualizing from your description trying to maintain control of the vehicle in the upper atmosphere. It's at that point where...
One more. :)
SEP Interlude Pt. 3
Banning, Calif.
"Here you are."
"Yes . . . here we are," Jamie Cunningham said as Brian Adkinson set her travel bag onto the bed. She looked around the hotel room she had rented for the night. Her mind ran over the events of the evening...
SEP: Interlude Pt. 2
Banning Municipal Airport
"I'm glad to see you've finally warmed up to this."
"I haven't warmed up to jack," Jamie Cunningham said tartly as she turned her head to her left to cast a disparaging glance at her friend, mentor and Mission Commander Brian...
Here you go sir! :)
Launch was done at the 335' pad heading. Maintained pretty much a near-optimal pitchover regime after roll maneuver complete; at +20' pitch w.r.t. local vertical about 7 seconds after outboard cutoff the RTLS decision was made.
Pitchover took about 5-6 seconds to complete...
Hmm. :idea:
Something I was thinking about just now. Not sure if these are actual improvements, but I wanted to throw them out there. This is on the aspect of the fact we're triggering these events manually during the launch sequence, but:
1. There seems to be little warning prior to the...
After a 9-10 month hiatus (not sure what was wrong with me at the time), I'd have to say this project has seen me warming up my Orbiter installations again. Even as this is a mockup, the two turns I've taken getting this thing up in to orbit has been fun . . .
Some thoughts:
1. Ascent...
Huh. I checked into that once a few years back up here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and the same figures pulled around $9,000-$10,000.
Though I suppose the difference here is the hangar fees, price of gas, arbitrary price hikes, paying the instructor . . .
